How did prostitutes prevent pregnancy in the old west?

Biology
1 answer:
bazaltina [42]3 years ago
8 0

Hello, that is a very good question!


Back then there was no such thing as 'birth-control', hence they never actually prevented pregnancies, of course there were services that provided 'different' penetration but that could also result in pregnancies.


The popular method of not giving birth [prevent pregnancy] was to kill the baby while still carrying [termination], in other words have a miscarriage.

There many various methods during that time (herbs, beating, old cloth hanger).


Hope this helped,

If the sequence of bases on the mrna codon is auu what would be the sequence of bases on the trna anticodon
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

uaa

Explanation:

An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence localized in the transport RNA (tRNA) that binds via complementary base pairing to the codon in the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis (translation). Thus, the tRNA anticodon binds with its complementary three-letter mRNA codon during translation in order to add a specific amino acid to the growing protein. Generally, the anticodon sequence positions 34–36-nt of the tRNA that reads its cognate mRNA codon sequence via Watson–Crick base pairing.

Most coastal areas on Earth experience two high tides and two low tides every lunar day. What is a lunar day? Our days on Earth
ahrayia [7]

The correct answer is - C) 5:35 PM Friday.

The low tides occur twice in a lunar day, thus they are diurnal. The low tides appear when the Moon is between that point of the planet and the opposite of that point of the planet, thus in between, which is happening twice, on opposite parts of the planet.

Since the lunar day lasts for 24 h 50 m, we should just divide it in two, thus get 12 h 25 m. Than we should add the 12 h 25 to the time when one of the low tides appeared, which is 5:10 AM, so we will get 5:35 PM.

The low tides appear because the Moon is pulling the water upwards with its gravitational pull above the place where it is, so the side parts of the planet have their waters dragged away,thus resulting in the retreating of the water, known as low tide.

Finger [1]
<span>The correct answer is A. Photosynthesis. To conduct photosynthesis, you need chloroplasts and these are found in the leaves which is why the leaves are green. Roots don't have them and they aren't exposed to the sun and don't create energy using photosynthesis. They do however absorb nutrients from the soil.</span>
